The bizarre incident happened at Christie’s Caberet in The Flats, just after 1 a.m. Wednesday. That’s when 22-year-old Lauren Block was reportedly giving a man a lap dance on the club’s second floor balcony and unsuccessfully executed a complex dance maneuver.

The man on the receiving end of Block’s efforts stated that “she grabbed the rail, as he was facing away from the balcony, and she tried to complete some sort of dance jump/dance move, and accidentally went head first over the rail,” the reporting officer said.

Block ended up plunging 15 feet to the floor below, landing on her head. Witnesses say Block was lying motionless on the ground for several minutes with her face covered with blood. She was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center with major head trauma and is currently listed in critical condition.

Police said that when they first got the call, they were told Block had been thrown from the balcony. When they learned this was nothing more than a horrible accident, they decided not to continue their investigation or file any criminal charges. However, OSHA is investigating.

Speaking of terrifying injuries during a lap dance, check out what happens to this poor guy’s balls during some kind of dance contest.

I’ve got mad respect for strippers. When we were in Vegas for my best friend’s bachelorette party, our group took a Stripper 101 class, taught by a bona fide professional. Only about two of the 8 or so of us had any real talent. Just that little spin around the pole is tricky as fuck. It’s nothing short of a miracle that more girls don’t get hurt on the job.

On a side note, she gave us all “stripper names” on our “stripper licenses”. Well, everyone except for me as, apparently, my name is sufficiently strippery if simply spelled with a “y”. Good times.

Christ, I need a rockin bod like this woman.

OSHA? Wonder if she can get WC? I’m being serious.

Athena

No reason why she can’t, assuming the strip club is a legitimate business. Even if it weren’t, though, there’d be someone she can sue.

NY_Mommy

I wonder if they gave the guy a refund or a free dance from another girl since his dance was not completed.

instead of sliding down poles and grinding crotches she’ll be rolling down handicap ramps and having her diaper changed by a nurse. paralysis is a beach.

Evan Oswald

waldo wants his glasses back, tho

Sam

So I guess that disproves that then. Pussys don’t all land on their feet.

daMonBrooks

I want to be a stripper. seems like all fun and money

Gee

Just walking in those shoes is hazard enough much less bouncing around a pole. Add a second story to the scenario and death may occur.

Sam

I can just imagine the guy in question bragging about this to his friends afterwards. “my hard-on is so impressive, it launched a stripper off the balcony once”

Sam

I think you missed out “polishing my throne” in that sentence somewhere…

JohnQknowitall

That would be redundant: platinum doesn’t tarnish!

JohnQknowitall

I can’t understand how this site could defame a family establishment like Hooters!!! Shame! Hooterettes do not give lap dances – they stick their t*ts in the face of the person at the table who is picking up the tab. This is completely safe!

I wonder if anyone bothered to tip her while she was lying on the floor.

newstarshipsmell

And if she doesn’t pull through, then what they say about nine lives…

newstarshipsmell

Death, or possibly the creation of a “very special” stripper.

newstarshipsmell

Oh yeah, and I was branded a race-traitor for “coming to your defense.” Good times!

I stripped for a yr when i was 21, it was alot of fun but very diff back then, i got paid $18 a set which is every other 20 mins, making that $36 an hour then kept all tips and the bar paid my agent $10 a booking i was working one nite or day a week while holding a fulltime sales secretary job for the insurance, i made over $28,000 in that one yr alone again 1 sometimes 2 times a week, i hear now the chick pays the bar to work there and they didnt do topless or lapdances back then either hmmm good times, esp the club that had the little caged stage that u step on the floor pedal and it goes up or down

As a black man, I can easily jump 15 feet, and with my cat like lightening reflexes, phwf.
As a crazy person, I’m also extremely delusional .

Small potatos. I was branded a fear-monger. Now THAT is a nickname worth printing on a t-shirt.

LeaveMeBe

What glasses?

LeaveMeBe

You’re hired!

JGo555

Welcome back. You were gone for a while again but you’re back. I hope you’re feeling better too.

I went on a double date once, and my beau’s friend’s date had her arm in a cast. I asked her what happened, and she said she was injured at work. I asked her about Worker’s Comp, but she said she was an independent contractor, there was only so much her employer would do, and they made her go to a dreadful hospital- it was one on the East Side (East St. Louis, Sauget, and the surrounding areas of iniquity). I said, “where do you work?” and she said “Diamond Caberet- I fell off the stage.”
Oh, my.
Evidently, the girls have to pay to work at the strip clubs as some sort of contractor, and the club’s liability is limited. However, my father-in-law, who sells luxury cars for a living, once sold a Jaguar to a stripper. She put 90G INAG on the license plate.

JGo555

You in DD Minions!? I don’t know your real life name so I can’t add you and I don’t want to post it. I’ll find you in the forums.

newstarshipsmell
